An unusual meet up, or the person tries to meet up with the right person. Chicago, Illinois. Monday, 3rd September.
One of the situations where for the first time in over a month, Konrad took a loss, but he still takes the record of not being pinned or submitted for almost two months now. That wasn't important as while Konrad went into the drafting room to select the team he's only decided on Saturday, Jerry stays in Konrad's locker room for a while to pack his things up in the locker room. However, as he picks the last few things up to place in Konrad's bags, there was a knock on the door as Jerry says this to himself.
Jerry Flack: "Hmmm? Konrad's back already?"
Rubbing his chin and shuffling his feet towards the door as Jerry opens it and sees a man who's wearing a carrot costume with Jerry swallowing hard, wrinkling his forehead and he takes the courage to say this to the carrot man.
Jerry Flack: "May I help you?"
Carrot Man: "Is Konrad around?"
Jerry Flack: "No, he's in the drafting room for Outlast tournament. Why did you want to see him?"
Carrot Man: "Because although he's an excellent wrestler, he needs to be more entertaining with the fans. I want to help him loosen up and have fun."
Jerry nodded, although he chuckled a bit not because of what the carrot man was saying, the carrot man looks Jerry straight in his eyes, Jerry chuckled because of the costume the carrot man was wearing. Jerry flicks his hand to the carrot man to come in as the carrot man does with Jerry closing the door behind him as they take a seat as Jerry still couldn't stop chuckling which turns into Jerry bursting out laughing.
Jerry Flack: "I'm sorry; it's just you're so god damn funny wearing that costume around a wrestling arena."
Carrot Man: "That's because I'm a wrestler. You may recognise me as a guy who wrestled on Chill a few months ago as apart of New Jersey Pro Wrestling known as The Camden Carrot. So about this situation, somehow it seems you agree with me."
Jerry Flack: "I do a lot. I've always said to Konrad, loosen up and enjoy yourself by giving the fans something to laugh about, but he struggles. He even struggled when he did a commercial a month ago, feeling very uncomfortable because of it being well out of his comfort zone."
Camden Carrot: "Which is why I want to help him. People like me because I'm entertaining, wearing this costume to the ring. I love to eat carrots as they are healthy to eat, and I also believe with the whole Iceman thing, we can so connect. I will help him find his personality and make him loosen up."
For once, it wasn't even Jerry's idea for the Camden Carrot to help him, it was Camden's idea all along as Jerry still couldn't stop laughing with tears coming down out of his eyes and he wasn't able to stop. At the same time, it took Jerry a while to stop laughing, and he sees Camden eat a packet of baby carrots he brought from the supermarket a while ago, and he passes one to Jerry who eats it with him.
Jerry Flack: "Carrots are delicious. I also believe that by you helping him, we can promote other kids and adults to eat healthily. So, do you want to improve as a wrestler at all?"
Camden Carrot: "I never thought about it as I wanted to wrestle for fun, to make the crowd entertained, but that's not important right now as Konrad needs some help to develop his personality as I've watched a lot of his videos and he takes wrestling way too seriously."
Jerry Flack: "I think that's the one thing that holds him back at times is he focuses on his skills rather than this Iceman personality he has. I've never seen him be his character, other than on rare occasions."
Camden Carrot: "With that, on top of us as sometimes, you can freeze carrots in the freezer with ice as well. That's another reason why I thought it would benefit the pair of us so we can do promoting on healthy eating as well as me loosening him up."
Jerry Flack: "Perfect, especially Konrad himself, is a vegetarian, so I'm sure it will all come to play. I'll give you his number so you can meet up with him and unleash his personality. If you give me your number as well so I can give to Konrad, so he knows it's you and not some random stranger."
It was something Jerry can get behind, and he gets a piece of paper and pen to write Konrad's mobile number down and gives it to Camden Carrot as Camden Carrot smiles at Jerry for accepting the offer. After Camden Carrot writes the number down on Jerry's notepad, he asks Jerry a question as Camden was still lost on who the guy is.
Camden Carrot: "Pardon me, but what's your name?"
Jerry Flack: "I'm Jerry Flack, Konrad's mental trainer."
Camden Carrot: "Thank you for the number. Do you think he's going to come here?"
Jerry Flack: "After the draft? Yeah, he will as he's got to get his things. I do think it'll be nice for you to meet him. Wait around for him with me so I can introduce you to him."
Camden Carrot: "Oh, please, you can call me Jared Smith."
Jerry nodded as he shakes hands with Jarred the Camden Carrot's known as outside of wrestling as it took a while for the draft of the Outlast tournament to finish. Jerry does finish up collecting things for Konrad as Camden sees another similarity between him and Konrad after seeing his mask put in the bag. It took forty-five minutes for Konrad to come in the locker room, but he looked at a guy dressed like a Carrot, pulling back slightly, frowning and glancing at Jerry. Jarred stands up and goes over to shake Konrad's hand and says this.
Jared Smith: "Hello, Konrad, been looking forward to meeting you."
Konrad Raab: "Hello. What's going on here?"
Jerry Flack: "This wasn't my idea. Camden Carrot came in here and started talking to me on how much he wants to loosen you up and get you to entertain with the crowd. I know you're extremely uncomfortable at that, but he's here to help you out with that."
When Jerry confirmed that Camden Carrot came in the locker room on wanting to help Konrad without Jerry telling him to, he accepts the handshake and he does for the first time, smile at Camden Carrot, mostly because of the costume and that for once in his life, there was someone there to want to help Konrad with the personality side of things, but his mind was on something else and was understandable after he finished with the Outlast draft. He makes a warning to Camden Carrot as he says this.
Konrad Raab: "I got to tell you, Camden Carrot."
Jarred Smith: "Please, outside of the ring, call me Jared Smith."
Konrad Raab: "Sorry, Jared, but I can't do anything, until after I've taken care of a massive match I got on Wednesday."
Jerry Flack: "He's not wrong, he has a World title match coming up on Wednesday against Alistaire Allocco in Supreme Championship Wrestling. When Konrad has title matches, you can expect Konrad never messing around and takes it so seriously. He takes gym training to another level when he has title matches."
Jarred Smith: "Oh, of course. Do you want a carrot, Konrad? They are delicious."
Konrad nods as he grins at Jarred and laughs a bit after seeing the costume he's wearing takes one baby carrot out of the packet, and he places it in his mouth as he eats any vegetables and takes a few more due to how focused he is for the match on Wednesday night and Konrad says this.
Konrad Raab: "They are. Anyway, it's nice to meet you, but I got to go and do two more hours of gym work night for the match on Wednesday night. You got my number?"
Jared Smith: "Jerry gave it to me. Good luck against Alistaire."
Konrad Raab: "Thank you, and we'll start all of this, I guess on Saturday."
Jerry pats Konrad on the back, being proud that he's willing to improve the personality side of him, despite how uncomfortable he was, even seeing a man in a carrot costume and while they were walking back to the apartment or the gym in Konrad's case. They went their separate ways as Jerry gave Konrad paper with some numbers on it as Jerry speaks.
Jerry Flack: "That's Camden Carrot's number, so you'd know who it is when he rings you."
Konrad winks at Jerry, getting his message as he places the number in his pocket and got his gym bag from Jerry and goes down to the gym, while Jerry couldn't be happier as he heads back to Konrad's apartment with Fizz waiting for him at the door for the Camden Carrot and Konrad's adventure together begins.
----------------------------------------------
The start of developing Konrad's personality work. Chicago, Illinois. Saturday 7th September.
Inside of a broken, run-down wrestling gym with grotty, ripped walls from the building is Camden Carrot setting up with a couple of freezers you'd get in some shops to store frozen food with ice and packets of frozen carrots in them. Jared's still wearing the carrot costume to show his personality side of him. It's been known Jared's loved eating carrots since he was a child. He loved the taste of the orange and sometimes the crunch of carrots, tasting some juice on his tongue.
Camden Carrot has finished setting everything up in the wrestling gym and waits in the ring for Konrad. Five minutes later, Konrad comes in the gym with his mask and his wrestling trousers gear, the stuff he usually wears in the ring. Looking down at the freezers, Konrad's forehead wrinkles, rubbing his jaw, shuffles his feet towards the ring as he slides under and sits opposite Jared as Jared has a packet of baby carrots. Konrad takes one out of the bag and eats it, and Jared begins to speak.
Jared Smith: "You're uncomfortable, aren't you?"
Konrad Raab: "Yes."
Jared Smith: "That's why we're here, to make you feel a lot looser and make you become The Iceman. Let's start with talking about your history with The Iceman nickname. What made you gave yourself that nickname for wrestling?"
Konrad Raab: "When I was five years old, I was a shy and quiet kid. My parents wanted me to get out of the house so I could make friends. So they sent me outside while it was snowing where I come from, Cologne, Germany. I didn't like going out at first, but once I played with snow and building snowmen, I loved every minute, touching the snow and being able to be creative with it."
Jared Smith: "That's when you first fell in love with snow and ice?"
Konrad Raab: "Yes."
Jared sees Konrad smiling while explaining his story when he was a young boy as Jared gets out of the ring and he opens up the freezers with frozen carrots inside. Jared flicks his hand to Konrad as Konrad gets up from the ring and slides down to see packets of frozen carrots inside, some already covered with ice.
Konrad Raab: "I can see carrots do work with ice."
Jared Smith: "Yes, they do."
As Konrad looked through the freezer to see if there's something else in there, he smiles, trying to understand to develop more of his Iceman personality. Jared pats Konrad on his back to see a ton of ice covering around the frozen carrots. He then sees bottles inside as he picks one up and wipes the ice off from the bottle and discovers what it was inside.
Konrad Raab: "Is that bottled of iced water inside as well?"
Jared Smith: "Yes. I spoke to Jerry Flack, and he tells me you always pour iced water all over your body before your match. I think we can work with the fact we can hand out free bottles of water to the crowd at the front row. Like me giving them packets of carrots to the crowd at the shows."
Konrad Raab: "That sounds like a brilliant idea for me to do something like that, along with me possibly drinking iced water to the ring and pour it on myself too."
Jared Smith: "That's the thinking I like. I also think you should see what else in the freezer you should do more often."
Konrad nods, he was enjoying the search for things that would go with his personality which was coming quite natural to him as Jared meanwhile knew it was perfect, getting Konrad to develop who he should've been from the beginning. Even when Konrad's still rubbing his chin and his forehead wrinkles, feeling frozen, he was still trying to loosen up, even if he wants to be a serious wrestler. Then ten minutes later of digging in the second freezer, he finds packets of ice lollies inside, and he pulls one out.
Konrad Raab: "It's a bit late to use them now, considering it's autumn time now."
Jared Smith: "It's never too late to sell ice lollies to the public. After all, people still buy and eat ice cream this time of the year. Of course, it's fruit flavoured so it would be a much healthier option for people to eat ice lollies than eating ice cream, don't you think?"
Konrad Raab: "I do. Sorry for arguing with you."
Jared Smith: "No problem. I know it's uncomfortable for you to express your personality to everyone and be more entertaining, but that's how I got to be one of the favourite wrestlers in Supreme Jersey Wrestling with me walking out in a costume to the fans and other , but truthfully at the same time, I love when kids pay attention to me and get photos with them because I inspired them and got them interested in what I do in the ring."
But while Jared never thought he'd see Konrad's personality came out, it certainly did as Konrad because of his love for ice goes right in the freezer and lays inside with his eyes closed. Jared laughs at Konrad, being so relaxed, feeling how cold it must be in there and he pats Konrad's shoulder and says this.
Jared Smith: "My god, this is hilarious, how on earth do you make that so easy, stepping in the freezer and laying in there?"
Konrad Raab: "Because of iced baths. Once a month, I go to a gym and sit in iced baths for forty-five minutes to cool down after I've done gym work. Come in with your costume on."
Jared Smith: "I don't know; looks too cold for me."
Konrad Raab: "Think of those carrots in there. Who needs those carrots to be cold and healthy?"
Jared nods at Konrad before he goes in and he screams for a bit after stepping his feet in there, but it got a bit comfortable and decided to tell Konrad his story about why he became The Camden Carrot, seeing Konrad's smile on his face, even with his eyes closed, but certainly relaxed.
Jared Smith: "I was born in Camden Town in London, and when I was ten years old, I dreamt of being a wrestler. In the case of carrots, it was the first vegetable my mother gave me to eat, and I loved them. I love the taste, the crunch and some of the juice. This costume took me nearly a whole day to make. I had my first professional match when I was nineteen years old and won my first title when I was twenty-four years old with the tag titles with Peekatyou as my tag partner."
Konrad Raab: "So that's fairly recent then."
Jared Smith: "It was. So who are you facing against this week?"
Konrad Raab: "Travis Pierce and Scott Bauer with Kate Steele as my tag partner. A preview for Outlast tournament coming up which I'm sure Jerry told you about."
Jared Smith nods at Konrad who only found out about his history of being in the business along with his love for carrots. Because it was a regular match, Jared had a plan with his ideas as he addresses it.
Jared Smith: "What about we give out iced bottles of water this week since it's a start of finding your personality?"
Konrad Raab: "Considering it's not an important match, I like to do that. However, I need to go for today; Fizz hasn't been feeling so well lately because of being pregnant and need to check how she is. I've had a lot of fun today."
Jared Smith: "Same here, but same-day next week, we'll do the same, but this time, in front of my friend Peekayou watching at ringside to see if he approves as a member of the crowd. I know you got the win in the bag in the tag match against Travis and Scott."
Konrad Raab: "I know I have with Travis, beaten him before, but Scott is someone I know nothing about, but I will find out when I get home to study on him a bit. I'll see you next week."
The Camden Carrot and Konrad Raab got out of the freezers and closed them as Konrad grabbed his things with a smile on his face, learning a lot about developing his personality to light. Jared had a smile on his face, knowing he did get Konrad's character out, but needs not to be so worried about losing the part of taking wrestling seriously. Konrad heads back to his apartment with Jared doing the cleaning up of the freezers he has to send back to the shop he hired them from, and he heads back to the hotel to get some sleep.

Time to show what Team Iceman is all about youtube.com shoot.
"I can't wait for the Outlast tournament, taking on the most significant responsibility I've ever had to take in my career, leading my team to win. I know what you think, why did I select the wrestlers I did. Well, the choices I had for sure were limited, but the first two of Jet and Natural Born Killer, I had to pay them back for everything they've done for me this year on motivating me to be better at hardcore matches and wanting to team with me, but Kate is because I can depend and trust her, regardless of the comments she may have made about me, but the trust is essential key to win the Outlast tournament.
However, moving on from the selections I've made last week and the loss I had, which was the first in a month, time to direct my attention towards Travis Pierce and Scott Bauer. One I've had a match with in the past, the other guy who's new to UGWC and wrestling business in general. It's always good to face new competition because you don't know what to expect, even if you do with Travis.
Yes, Travis, I explained last week as to why you need to come up with new jokes about me because it's history now, much like the pin I made on Lucky previous year in the tournament. Think of this though Travis, have you been paying any attention to what I've done this year? I guess not, considering you're facing a Chaos title contender as well as the captain team leader.
I find it funny how you think I'm unsuited to be a captain when the last win you had against anyone in UGWC was against Alan back at Grand Slam. I've not been pinned in a match for two months now, so that shows how much I've improved a lot these last few months. It was the improvement of my abilities I know that got me this spot. If you had lost against Alan Wallace at Grand Slam, you wouldn't be a captain. Not to mention I'm the most trustworthy captain you can have in the tournament because I won't stab anybody in their back.
Now Scott Bauer is a different story as I can't say much if anything about the guy, apart from his time in UGWC. I don't know who he fought against because I can't find videos of his matches from his past, but I know from the list of moves he's a technical and a high flyer. I'm all rounded with every wrestling style you can think of Scott. Also, I've had a couple of boxing fights in my time which I lost both, but that's years ago. You lasted a lot longer as a boxer than I did.
But I much preferred wrestling where you can make various amount of moves and find different ways to defend yourself and not just psychically either, but mentally as well. Because you're new, I won't trash you. How can I when I only read about your boxing career didn't come together because of your busted eye, wanting to follow your father's footsteps. I hope wrestling will lead you to better success and I believe it will with I'm sure the amount of training you had to get to wrestle.
Although you aren't in this match, I haven't forgotten about you Kenzi, I'm glad you're angry because of you not seeing your faults. Where's that nice girl Kenzi we've all grown to love? Where's the Kenzi when she didn't break the rules and wanted to win without her buddies trying to win for you? Now we see an insecure girl who can't bare the thought of losing a match fairly and cheating her way to win, whether it's fake injuries or attacking people with weapons or having other buddies saving you from losing a match to hand you a win or spreading lies about people. You've made me sick, and I can't wait when we fight for the Chaos title, putting you back in your place.
The point is Scott and Travis is that we may face each other again, but I know with Kate Steele's abilities in Sin City Wrestling because she really is a fantastic wrestler, there's no question about it with the amount of titles she's won over there that we have the most experienced team both in wrestling years of experience and actually when I come to think of it, most experienced tag team because me and Kate had teamed up before and sure we lost, but we aim to get that win back because we want to win more.
Also if it helps me to encourage Kate to step up her game to get better, I have no problems doing that because she's motivated and she's a great wrestler who deserves to be more noticed. We'll do everything possible to capture this win from the pair of you whether it's by me or Kate. Tomorrow night in Chicago, you'll see a preview of what Team Iceman can do in the ring of us pinning either Travis or Scott for the three count. Prepare to be Iceinated by The Ice Steele and The Iceman."
One of the situations where for the first time in over a month, Konrad took a loss, but he still takes the record of not being pinned or submitted for almost two months now. That wasn't important as while Konrad went into the drafting room to select the team he's only decided on Saturday, Jerry stays in Konrad's locker room for a while to pack his things up in the locker room. However, as he picks the last few things up to place in Konrad's bags, there was a knock on the door as Jerry says this to himself.
Jerry Flack: "Hmmm? Konrad's back already?"
Rubbing his chin and shuffling his feet towards the door as Jerry opens it and sees a man who's wearing a carrot costume with Jerry swallowing hard, wrinkling his forehead and he takes the courage to say this to the carrot man.
Jerry Flack: "May I help you?"
Carrot Man: "Is Konrad around?"
Jerry Flack: "No, he's in the drafting room for Outlast tournament. Why did you want to see him?"
Carrot Man: "Because although he's an excellent wrestler, he needs to be more entertaining with the fans. I want to help him loosen up and have fun."
Jerry nodded, although he chuckled a bit not because of what the carrot man was saying, the carrot man looks Jerry straight in his eyes, Jerry chuckled because of the costume the carrot man was wearing. Jerry flicks his hand to the carrot man to come in as the carrot man does with Jerry closing the door behind him as they take a seat as Jerry still couldn't stop chuckling which turns into Jerry bursting out laughing.

It was something Jerry can get behind, and he gets a piece of paper and pen to write Konrad's mobile number down and gives it to Camden Carrot as Camden Carrot smiles at Jerry for accepting the offer. After Camden Carrot writes the number down on Jerry's notepad, he asks Jerry a question as Camden was still lost on who the guy is.

I know it's uncomfortable for you to express your personality to everyone and be more entertaining, but that's how I got to be one of the favourite wrestlers in Supreme Jersey Wrestling with me walking out in a costume to the fans and other , but truthfully at the same time, I love when kids pay attention to me and get photos with them because I inspired them and got them interested in what I do in the ring."
But while Jared never thought he'd see Konrad's personality came out, it certainly did as Konrad because of his love for ice goes right in the freezer and lays inside with his eyes closed. Jared laughs at Konrad, being so relaxed, feeling how cold it must be in there and he pats Konrad's shoulder and says this.
Jared Smith: "My god, this is hilarious, how on earth do you make that so easy, stepping in the freezer and laying in there?"
Konrad Raab: "Because of iced baths. Once a month, I go to a gym and sit in iced baths for forty-five minutes to cool down after I've done gym work. Come in with your costume on."
Jared Smith: "I don't know; looks too cold for me."
Konrad Raab: "Think of those carrots in there. Who needs those carrots to be cold and healthy?"
Jared nods at Konrad before he goes in and he screams for a bit after stepping his feet in there, but it got a bit comfortable and decided to tell Konrad his story about why he became The Camden Carrot, seeing Konrad's smile on his face, even with his eyes closed, but certainly relaxed.
Jared Smith: "I was born in Camden Town in London, and when I was ten years old, I dreamt of being a wrestler. In the case of carrots, it was the first vegetable my mother gave me to eat, and I loved them. I love the taste, the crunch and some of the juice. This costume took me nearly a whole day to make. I had my first professional match when I was nineteen years old and won my first title when I was twenty-four years old with the tag titles with Peekatyou as my tag partner."
Konrad Raab: "So that's fairly recent then."
Jared Smith: "It was. So who are you facing against this week?"
Konrad Raab: "Travis Pierce and Scott Bauer with Kate Steele as my tag partner. A preview for Outlast tournament coming up which I'm sure Jerry told you about."
Jared Smith nods at Konrad who only found out about his history of being in the business along with his love for carrots. Because it was a regular match, Jared had a plan with his ideas as he addresses it.
Jared Smith: "What about we give out iced bottles of water this week since it's a start of finding your personality?"
Konrad Raab: "Considering it's not an important match, I like to do that. However, I need to go for today; Fizz hasn't been feeling so well lately because of being pregnant and need to check how she is. I've had a lot of fun today."
Jared Smith: "Same here, but same-day next week, we'll do the same, but this time, in front of my friend Peekayou watching at ringside to see if he approves as a member of the crowd. I know you got the win in the bag in the tag match against Travis and Scott."
Konrad Raab: "I know I have with Travis, beaten him before, but Scott is someone I know nothing about, but I will find out when I get home to study on him a bit. I'll see you next week."
The Camden Carrot and Konrad Raab got out of the freezers and closed them as Konrad grabbed his things with a smile on his face, learning a lot about developing his personality to light. Jared had a smile on his face, knowing he did get Konrad's character out, but needs not to be so worried about losing the part of taking wrestling seriously. Konrad heads back to his apartment with Jared doing the cleaning up of the freezers he has to send back to the shop he hired them from, and he heads back to the hotel to get some sleep.

Time to show what Team Iceman is all about youtube.com shoot.
"I can't wait for the Outlast tournament, taking on the most significant responsibility I've ever had to take in my career, leading my team to win. I know what you think, why did I select the wrestlers I did. Well, the choices I had for sure were limited, but the first two of Jet and Natural Born Killer, I had to pay them back for everything they've done for me this year on motivating me to be better at hardcore matches and wanting to team with me, but Kate is because I can depend and trust her, regardless of the comments she may have made about me, but the trust is essential key to win the Outlast tournament.
However, moving on from the selections I've made last week and the loss I had, which was the first in a month, time to direct my attention towards Travis Pierce and Scott Bauer. One I've had a match with in the past, the other guy who's new to UGWC and wrestling business in general. It's always good to face new competition because you don't know what to expect, even if you do with Travis.
Yes, Travis, I explained last week as to why you need to come up with new jokes about me because it's history now, much like the pin I made on Lucky previous year in the tournament. Think of this though Travis, have you been paying any attention to what I've done this year? I guess not, considering you're facing a Chaos title contender as well as the captain team leader.
I find it funny how you think I'm unsuited to be a captain when the last win you had against anyone in UGWC was against Alan back at Grand Slam. I've not been pinned in a match for two months now, so that shows how much I've improved a lot these last few months. It was the improvement of my abilities I know that got me this spot. If you had lost against Alan Wallace at Grand Slam, you wouldn't be a captain. Not to mention I'm the most trustworthy captain you can have in the tournament because I won't stab anybody in their back.
Now Scott Bauer is a different story as I can't say much if anything about the guy, apart from his time in UGWC. I don't know who he fought against because I can't find videos of his matches from his past, but I know from the list of moves he's a technical and a high flyer. I'm all rounded with every wrestling style you can think of Scott. Also, I've had a couple of boxing fights in my time which I lost both, but that's years ago. You lasted a lot longer as a boxer than I did.
But I much preferred wrestling where you can make various amount of moves and find different ways to defend yourself and not just psychically either, but mentally as well. Because you're new, I won't trash you. How can I when I only read about your boxing career didn't come together because of your busted eye, wanting to follow your father's footsteps. I hope wrestling will lead you to better success and I believe it will with I'm sure the amount of training you had to get to wrestle.
Although you aren't in this match, I haven't forgotten about you Kenzi, I'm glad you're angry because of you not seeing your faults. Where's that nice girl Kenzi we've all grown to love? Where's the Kenzi when she didn't break the rules and wanted to win without her buddies trying to win for you? Now we see an insecure girl who can't bare the thought of losing a match fairly and cheating her way to win, whether it's fake injuries or attacking people with weapons or having other buddies saving you from losing a match to hand you a win or spreading lies about people. You've made me sick, and I can't wait when we fight for the Chaos title, putting you back in your place.
The point is Scott and Travis is that we may face each other again, but I know with Kate Steele's abilities in Sin City Wrestling because she really is a fantastic wrestler, there's no question about it with the amount of titles she's won over there that we have the most experienced team both in wrestling years of experience and actually when I come to think of it, most experienced tag team because me and Kate had teamed up before and sure we lost, but we aim to get that win back because we want to win more.
Also if it helps me to encourage Kate to step up her game to get better, I have no problems doing that because she's motivated and she's a great wrestler who deserves to be more noticed. We'll do everything possible to capture this win from the pair of you whether it's by me or Kate. Tomorrow night in Chicago, you'll see a preview of what Team Iceman can do in the ring of us pinning either Travis or Scott for the three count. Prepare to be Iceinated by The Ice Steele and The Iceman."
